Louis notest that Greece should just default and send a message to the market, rates would go up and governments would have to spend less as they could not afford to borrow money at the higher rates.

Louis notes the irony of a Greek default-it won’t draw attention to the US being in a similar situation, but rather will draw investors to the US as a safe haven.
